Laid-Down cost
The laid-down cost is the total cost of a product shipped from different supply sources to a customer’s point of use. This includes:
- the product cost,
- transportation cost,
- any other associated costs.
The laid-down cost is useful in comparing the total cost of a product from different suppliers. It can help you determine which supplier offers the best overall value.
